I went through the whole signup process, and it was only after they presented me with account information fields that I realized I could only input a US ZIP code. This is common with US startups, and it's really frustrating; it's not often they consider signups from outside the country. If it did mention that it was US-only somewhere, it was not obvious.

Buy the _amount_ of stock you want in _dollars_. As much or as little. It's a simple idea whose time has come.

Cons:

Would love to see them add tax-advantaged accounts soon.

I've been using Stockpile for about 6 months. I love hearing about some public product launch, thinking, "That'll do well", and then being able to buy stock in that company. It super easy. And the trading fees are totally reasonable at $0.99 per trade.

Easy to own stocks by the dollar, not whole share when you cant afford a $990 share of amazon and google stock. And I can invest in Bitcoin!

Cons:

I want to arrange my stocks in a preferred order since my portfolio is building.

I like getting my non-finance savvy friends into investing by gifting them $5 of free stock so they can learn about investing. If you want to try it out - ping me and Ill give you the code for $5 free stock.

Stockpile is the easy and affordable way to start investing for your future. With Stockpile, you can buy fractional shares of ETFs as well as stock in publicly-traded companies. Rather than buying an entire share of stock, you can get just the amount you want. This means you can buy $25 of Amazon stock even though one share costs about $1000.

Stockpile has also invented the world’s first gift card for stock! For the first time ever, you can buy $25, $50, and $100 Stockpile gift cards off the gift card rack at stores like Target, Kroger, and Safeway, or send e-gifts from their app.
